LESSON 116. 



Problem. — To study insects as a means of transmitting disease. 

 To plan and inaugurate a campaign against the fly. 



Points to be brought out. — The fly may distribute disease germs to 

 food. By killing the first flies that appear before they have had a 

 chance to breed, it is much easier to keep their numbers down.
